People I know
I don’t know if
any of you has received an e-mail similar to the one I have received below. If
you have not good for you and should you receive it in the future, do not follow
it’s instructions, it’s a SPAM. When I received it, I
picked up suspicious things about it.
1.
It’s from BetteBroschuk
at Standard Bank, who or what the heck is BetteBroschuk
2.
Banks will normally say
Dear Standard Bank Customer and not Dear Standard Bank Member
3.
A bank will address an
e-mail directly to you if they require confidential details,
this should have read dear Me or at least used both my initials and surname.
4.
The e-mail does not bear
the names confidentiality claim of the bank, and it does not guarantee
confidentiality of information processed
5.
A bank’s url should be
straight forward, in this case it should have been https:www.standardbank.co.za,
everything else after that is routing you to hell
6.
The e-mail should also
bear a telephone, get it telephone not cell phone, number where you can call to
query or complain if you don’t want to send your information via e-mail. Most
likely to be an 0800 number with a normal line as an
alternative.
As you can see
from the e-mail, I have BCC’d all of you except one fool, this is to avoid
having all of you responding to strangers when you respond to me, which I think
is very polite if you are going to be sending an e-mail to a group of people
who don’t know each other. Anyway the fool I have CC’d above is more likely to
be one of the fools who come up with such SPAMS, I have never met him nor do I
know him, but he keeps on sending me e-mails that talk about nothing. Ever
since he started sending me e-mails, I have been getting funny e-mails leading
to me been very alert of spams, and when I received this e-mail I knew the
monkey had pushed his luck. So if receive e-mails from this creature, please
delete without opening.
Kind regards
Me
